A family friend had a huge overreaction to a potato salad.

If someone is kind enough to invite you to their house for a meal, you often bring some nice drinks or a plate of brownies or a bouquet of flowers. What you don't do is insult the food that your hosts have made for you — no matter how much you dislike it.

Most of us are taught that as toddlers. We're told, "If someone gives you a birthday present, and you don't like it, what do you do?" And then you learn to say "Thank you!" for what you're given (even if it's something boring like clothing or shoes). That shows gratitude. Easy stuff.

This woman was invited to a meal, and she probably won't be invited to dine with this family ever again. She really laid into the OP, u/dinoleftthechat, for a simple disagreement about how a dish should be made. Even stranger, this friend was upset over the way the OP was eating. It couldn't have been less of this woman's business what the OP was dining on! As the chef, the OP can cook things as she pleases. At least the commenters sided unanimously with the OP on this one.

Next up, these workers shared the funniest and silliest rules they have at their workplaces.
